As a qualified nutritionist I was very excited to volunteer with Leah’s Pantry. They have created an excellent program for healthy eating for both adults and children, through which they aim to improve people’s health at the individual and community level. Their friendly and knowledgeable staff guide participants through an exploration of the principles of healthy eating and give advice on how to implement better choices in people’s own lives through cooking demonstrations, sharing recipes, group discussions and creating SMART goals. Their workshops are both fun and informative.
